I first learned in my fathers 65 Impala SS convertible. Really heavy clutch, no power steering or brakes. Also a really stiff touchy throttle. All manual transmission cars have been easy since.

Can not be unseen.

Also, who sets up DUI check points at 6:50 pm?

DUI check points are illegal in Minnesota. I found that part of the story to be odd.

I have had a similar experience trying to get the airbag in my ‘12 Mustang replaced. Leave us alone, Ford will send you something when they are available. I have been waiting at least 8 months.
